Anon A Miss Strikes

Scootaloo walked into the office and smiled. First Response helped her a lot with some bullying issues when she first got here. She still had weekly Go Fish and Uno games with him.

"Hello Scootaloo. How was winter break?" He greeted her as she sat down across from him.

"It was good, how was yours first?" She asked with a big smile.

"It was decent. Got Christmas off for the first time in ten years. Spent it with the kids and wife," he replied. "While I love our conversations, we have something to discuss." She cautiously sat down at the seat across from. He slid a donut and a chocolate milk to her. "Figured you might be hungry, so I stopped by Sugarcube Corner and got you some breakfast."

"Thank you," she mumbled as she eagerly bit into the donut. He laughed and handed her a napkin.

"We need to talk about this Anon a miss account. I know Sweetie was involved. Do you know anything about it?" He asked and she froze.

"N-no," she stammered out and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"You're lying," he pointed out calmly.

"How can you tell?" Scootaloo nervously asked, looking around the room.

"I've been a officer since I was twenty two, it's my job to know when I'm being lied to."

"Don't you need my parents here if you're gonna be interrogating me?"

"This isn't an interrogation, it's just two friends talking. That said, we have your aunts on the way because we couldn't reach your parents," he replied.

"Okay."

He rested against the desk and made eye contact with her.

"What do you know about the account, Scoots? Honestly is the best way to help yourself here."

"I may know something about it," she admitted and slammed her head against the desk.

"You're not a bad kid, Scootaloo. I think you're just in a bad situation and you don't know how to get out, isn't that it?" He asked softly and she nodded, raising her head.

"Yes," she answered in a whisper. She wiped the crumbs off her face and sipped her milk.

"What's going on?"

"It was their idea," she mumbled.

"Peer pressure can be hard to say no to if it's your friends, who is they?" He asked.

"You know who," she replied.

"I need verbal confirmation, Scoots. You know that," he pointed at his bodycam. "For that." She hesitated and looked away.

"Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle," she mumbled.

"And what was the point of the account, Scoots?" He questioned soothingly. She made eye contact with him.

"I'll tell you everything," she whispered.

First Response walked down the hallway with another officer, their shoes echoing down the hall. They reached the classroom they needed and the younger officer unlocked and opened it. The students looked up and Ms. Harshwhinny paused her lesson. The two officers walked to Apple Bloom desks and stopped.

"Get up," the younger officer ordered.

"W-why?" She stammered as she stood up. He spun her around and pulled out his handcuffs.

"You're not under arrest, you're being placed into custody alright. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney during any questioning, if you can't afford one, one will be appointed to you by the courts. Do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?" He asked as snapped the cuffs on her.

"Ah do, why are y'all arresting me?" She demanded nervously as they lead her out the classroom.

"You're not under arrest," he repeated as they shut the door, leaving her stunned classmates and teacher behind. Across the school, Sweetie Belle was getting the same treatment by Shining Armor. He lead her down the hall and met up with the other officers. They started to walk down the hall to the entrance of the school, guiding the two girls. Students moved out of their way and gazed in shock at the two freshman in handcuffs.

"What in Sam Hill is goin on here?" A furious Applejack demanded. Rarity looked away and bit her lip. Applejack stepped in front of them and First Response gently pushed her out of the way.

"Step aside, or you'll get arrested for impending a police function," he warned.

"Apple Bloom, what on earth did y'all two do?" She demanded as they kept walking her sister outside.

"Ah fucked up," Apple Bloom called out as she was put in the back of a waiting police car.

"Ah'll call Granny and we will sort this out, ya hear me?" Apple Bloom nodded as the Shining Armor got in the front seat and drove off, following the car in front of him that contained Sweetie Belle.

"What just happened?" Fluttershy inquired as she walked up to the pair.

"Ah ain't even sure. Three police officers just walked our sisters outta here in cuffs into police cars," Applejack fumed. Rarity sighed.

"You two, come with me," she pulled them into a classroom and shut the door. "Half of anon a miss posts came from my houses ip. The Sergeant questioned me extensively about it. Sweetie Belle has been acting weird. What about Apple Bloom?"

"What are ya implying?" Applejack folded her arms and stared at her.

"I'm implying nothing. I'm asking if she has been acting weird." Applejack rubbed her chin in thought.

"Ah mean, ah guess. No more than usual. She mainly just stays in her room with Sweetie and Scootaloo. We were like that too when were their age."

"I suppose. Maybe we should ask them if they know anything. I don't want to believe my sister did this, but a girl killed herself over this the officer said. That's a manslaughter charge, darling. Either of us and our sisters could go down for that."

"Alright fine, we will speak to em. Ah ain't sure about what we are gonna find, though Rares," Applejack conceded.

"Me neither."

"What makes you think I'm not anon a miss?" Sunset asked as she stabbed her potato salad, taking a bite. Rainbow sipped her pop.

"Just a gut feeling. This didn't seem like something you would do, especially not now. Especially not to Pinkie." Rainbow flashed a tired smile to her. "Plus, loyalty and all." She rubbed her head and winced a bit.

"You okay?" Lightning asked around a mouthful of pizza.

"Yeah, just a migraine," she mumbled as she bit into her hamburger.

"We all have them," Pinkie said.

"How do we know you won't go back to your friends when shit gets rough?" Vinyl asked she drank her water. Rainbow glared at her.

"We would rather die," she said coldly. Bon Bon and Octavia shot each other worried looks.

"Sunset has the same migraines," Lyra commented. Pinkie and Rainbow looked at her in surprise.

"Really?" They asked in unison.

"Yeah, I'm not sure why," Sunset admitted.

"Twilight seems to think it's related to the elements punishing us when I went and asked her," Rainbow pointed out.

"You went through the portal and asked her?" Sunset asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's the most painful thing I've ever felt." Sunset rubbed her chin.

"The elements punishing us all could explain why we all have migraines."

"What do you mean?" Octavia questioned.

"In Equestria, the Elements of Harmony are a force used to defended Equestria. Rainbow Dash is Loyalty, Pinkie is laughter, Rarity is generosity, Applejack is honesty and Fluttershy is Kindness," Sunset explained. Diamond gave a snort.

"Kinda funny how the last three are the worst right now," she grumbled. "So that's what you were talking about at the bakery when Applejack got arrested." Sunset nodded.

"That doesn't explain why Sunset has migraines though," Silver Spoon pointed out and Sunset sighed.

"Actually it does. I represent the Element of Empathy and Forgiveness. I haven't been very empathic lately with the school, so I betrayed my element in a way too." She rubbed her head.

"My migraine has been going away. Same with Pinkies," Rainbow pointed out.

"I'm not sure. I have been laughing more recently, so that's why Pinkies might be going away. And yours might be going away because we are back and talking again." Rainbow gave a nod.

"Makes sense. My hair has been turning more vibrant than it was before," she looked over Octavia and the others till her gaze rested on Diamond Tiara. "So this is the new group you're running with?"

"Is that a problem?" Vinyl asked and Octavia smacked her on the back of the head. "Ow."

"No, it's not a problem. I was just asking," Rainbow growled. She looked around the cafeteria and rolled her eyes. "Here comes trouble." Applejack walked up to them with a nervous expression and Lightning stood up, with a fist balled.

"What are you doing here?" She demanded as soon as Applejack was in earshot.

"Ah'm here to talk to Rainbow. About our sisters, now kindly move." Sunset and Rainbow exchanged a nervous look.

"Vinyl, ask Applejack if something happened to Scootaloo for me," Rainbow requested.

"Did anything happen to Scootaloo, Applejack?" The dj asked.

"Sweetie and Apple Bloom just got detained by the police. Taken out the school and everythang."

"What?" Diamond exclaimed. "Why?"

"Ah ain't sure. They ain't tell us anything yet. They said they were gunna stop by the farm later and talk to Granny."

"Gabby Gums," Sunset muttered to herself.

"Did Scootaloo get taken too?" Rainbow asked.

"Naw. She's around here somewhere," Applejack admitted. "Can ya talk to her for us?"

"I don't want to do you any favors," Rainbow retorted. "We're done." Applejack recoiled and stared at her.

"Fine." She glanced at Sunset.

"Move along," Lightning growled. Applejack glared at her and stood in front of her. "Go ahead, Applejack. Do something. Make my day. I don't care, I'll smack the fuck out of you. I'll even keep swinging on your unconscious body when the cops show up and try to pull me off." Her and Applejack glared at each other till Lyra slammed her hand down on the table.

"Get out of here, Applejack. This isn't the place for you. Hopefully, one day you can buy enough lube to pull your head out of your ass but that day isn't today. Now run before Lightning hits you," the green girl snapped. Bon Bon stared at her in shock. Applejack glared at her before nodding and walking away.

"I never knew you were so vulgar, Lyra," Bon Bon announced as she ate her salad. Lyra shot her a smug look.

"I'm an engima."

"You're something," Vinyl muttered. Lyra rolled her eyes and went back to trying to shove a whole cheeseburger into her mouth.

Pinkie gave Sunset a one armed hug.

"I missed this," she mumbled and gestured around the table with a fork. "Having more than one actual friend and Sunset being happy. It's nice to not be so down in the dumps." Sunset returned the hug.

"I know."
